Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a piezoelectric film includes forming a metal film, recrystallizing a portion of the metal film by heating, forming an amorphous film of piezoelectric material on the metal film; and heating the amorphous film at a position of the recrystallized portion of the metal film.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A piezoelectric film comprising: a metal film having a crystalline quality; and a film having a crystalline quality and formed on the metal film to cover a first area of the metal film, wherein the metal film has the first area and a second area, the first area being covered by the film having a crystalline quality, the second area being not covered by the film having a crystalline quality, and wherein the first area has a recrystallized structure while the second area has a non-recrystallized structure, such that a 2θ position of an X-ray diffraction peak of the first area is different from a 2θ position of an X-ray diffraction peak of the second area. 2. The piezoelectric film according to claim 1 , wherein the 2θ position of the X-ray diffraction peak of the first area is higher than the 2θ position of the X-ray diffraction peak of the second area. 3. The piezoelectric film according to claim 1 , wherein the film having a crystalline quality is crystalized on the metal film. 4. The piezoelectric film according to claim 1 , wherein the film having a crystalline quality is an oxide film. 5. The piezoelectric film according to claim 1 , wherein the film having a crystalline quality is made of piezoelectric material. 6. The piezoelectric film according to claim 1 , wherein the film having a crystalline quality is made of ABO 3 piezoelectric material. 7. A piezoelectric device comprising the piezoelectric film of claim 1 .
